Certified Hoodia: The Best on the MarketCertified Hoodia is that which is legal for export out of South Africa. Companies who are allowed to distribute this product are usually issued a C.I.T.E.S certificate. This C.I.T.E.S export license is usually distributed by organizations such as the South African Western Cape Conservation authority. It proves that a company has been issued the right to internationally distribute a specific amount of certified hoodia. This system is set in place to help increase the validity of certain weight loss products manufactured that include this plant-based component as a main ingredient. Now, it does not mean that a supplier who displays a copy of this certificate on a web page does sell genuine products. This document could very easily be duplicated. Moreover, once suppliers receive their product, they are allowed to use it however they want. On the other hand, no certified hoodia would be sold without documentation of the right to sell it. The fact that a company can prove that they have the right to distribute weight loss aids that include this ingredient all over the world is very advantageous. Another way to determine the authenticity of products that contain this Kalahari-native plant is lab testing. In the U.S., lab studies conducted have provided astounding statistics. According to one source, only six brands out of eleven tested actually contain certified hoodia. These include Desert Burn, Hoodoba Pure, Dr. Wheeler’s Afrigetics, King Hoodia, Hoodia Max, and Ethno Africa. This may not necessarily be a complete list as more need to be tested, but is an accurate report of findings made fairly recently. Determining whether a product contains a form of certified hoodia also requires common sense. For instance, how long has the brand advertised been around? How many other users have reported positive results of it? Have any professional reports been generated in favor of the product? Moreover, it should contain a substantial amount of a product derived from a pure powder or extract form. The recommended concentration is 20:1 or 10:1 (20 pounds of plant harvest condensed to one pound of concentration or 10 pounds to the same). The recommended dosage is up to 1,300 mg per day. Another common sense approach used to determine the authenticity of this plant-based weight loss product simply to read the ingredient list. If other ingredients are listed chances are that this product is not certified at the very least consists of a very insignificant form of it. Additional Shopping Tips For persons shopping for certified hoodia these additional tips may help: Beware of companies that do not offer adequate e-mail or phone contact information. Moreover, be skeptical of products sold for very cheap prices, and take bad publicity about a company to heart. Moreover, you may want to notice the label when shipped to you. Does it look as though it was cheaply produced at home? Even before you purchase, you should note that a company may not be very trustworthy if they offer no info about ingredients of the product. With that, you are advised to order from familiar sellers.
